Sol Solution

Since the 1990s, Sol Solution has been designing, developing and marketing innovative geotechnical equipment and methods. Its first invention is the Panda®, a dynamic cone penetrometer with variable energy for controlling the quality of compaction of earthworks and carrying out tests for the geotechnical characterisation of surface soils. Legend has it that the inventor came up with the idea of using the energy released by hitting a sledgehammer on a rod to measure the resistance of the ground and to collect data from the ground, when he stuck a sardine in the ground to fix his tent. Its success was not immediate, and it was necessary to convince people of the advantages of this new technique, suitcase in hand. Lighter, more manageable, easier to use and transport, the Panda® was a break with the heavy equipment on the market.
